The film begins with a wealthy Madhav Rao, who lives with his pregnant wife Shantamma and son Ravi.

He is on odd terms with his debauchery sibling, Nageswara Rao, who loathes his brother for sentencing him to prison in the past.

He returns home when Madhav Rao is ailing, sneakily slaughters him, and usurps the property by deceiving Shantamma.

Upon knowing Shantamma is pregnant, he ploys to slay her and Ravi to eliminate heirs to Madhava Rao's property.

After bestirring, Shantamma is forlorn as Ravi is misled when a church father, Joseph, guards her where she delivers the second son Rajendra.

Meanwhile, Nageswara Rao senses Shantamma's existence and wiles to wipe her out when she is unexpectedly incriminated as homicide and is sentenced.

The night before the final court hearing, Father Joseph arrives, recognizes Shantamma, and unites Rajendra with his mother.
